About

Jason Gesing, CEO of eXp Realty “We have two ears and one tongue for a reason” Listening is key on Global Luxury Real Estate Mastermind with Michael Valdes Podcast #130 I've known Jason Gesing from industry speaking engagements we were both on for about a year. I always found him to be such a humble and benevolent leader and you are instantly attracted to his spirit. When we were speaking about my coming over to eXp, it was always around a discussion of everyone winning and I must say that since day 1, Jason and the entire company have far exceeded those promises. I now have the privilege of working with him on a daily basis and I learn so much from him, not only on an industry level but from a human level. Jason is someone who cares about the success of others which is so rare to find these days.Thank you, Jason, for the conversation, and for all you do. More About Jason Gesing:Jason is Chief Executive Officer, eXp Realty, and a member of the Board of Directors for eXp World Holdings.
